Unilag final year student, slumps and dies on football pitch

Rammy Yesufu a final year student of University of Lagos and also a member of the prestigious ABF Football and Social club, Adeniyi Jones, died yesterday while playing football on the pitch. He was said to have slumped, tried to get up but fell back before his friends rushed to him and took him to a nearby hospital. Just as the Nurse laid him down for treatment he gave up the ghost.  He will be buried today at VGC.
His friends asked me to put this up, so his friends in other parts of the country can see. May he RIP.

  5. Rammy, u were our best! We all 'fought' to get u to play on our side. You were so amiable & humble. How should we know u were leaving us? Most painfully, in this manner! U captained your side, scored a great goal, motivated your team to victory twice & at d third set, u slumped. Threw us all into unimaginable confusion & panic in desperation to help u. It's a sad & dark sunday (yesterday) and a darker monday (today) as we move to lay u to eternal rest. We grief & mourn u, with heavy hearts. We miss u, dear brother & friend. It's still like a nightmare, we'll all wake up from. Wow! Pls don't go, Rammy! Pls, u don't need to go now. This tears can't just stop flowing - Kunle Joseph

  6. My man, my Nigga, my bro, my side kick. 2days ago you were excited I came to check out an apartment on your street. "Viektor, u don b my neibor b dat o!" Yesterday, we played on the same set and right infront of us, you slumped. "Rammy na strong man, him go soon stand" we said. But mortal strength is nothing compared to God's will. Rest in peace my Man. Rest! -Viektor Udom

  9. If I could reach up and hold a star for every time you've made me smile, the entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand. Rammy was more than a friend and would always be remembered.

  13. this is really sad.although i don't know the dude but a young physically healthy young man to just slump and die suddenly speaks volumes about healthcare in nigeria.
    if there were adequate healthcare this guy would have gone for at least one check up and complete mot and the GP would have known if he had a heart problem of some sort
    the fact that you are not fat or old does not preclude one from heart decease lets endeavour to check ourselves out especially if you have an history of heart decease in your family.

    from the way the guy died my money is on a heart condition left untreated
    may his soul rest in peace and may the lord give his friends family and loved ones the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss

  17. Ramat, i don't know if i should be happy we hung-out just a week ago because it was a few years since we saw each other or should i be sad that i didn't spend longer with you. Only last week we were still joking and messing about on BBM now you've just gone finally.... I wish it was a lie but it all too real, one thing is synonymous with this is that you died doing something you enjoyed doing "playing football". Damn, life is harsh... May God grant your family (and us, your really close friends) the fortitude to bear your loss, on behalf of your boys in the UK, REST IN PEACE. (You will be missed so much).... Stephen Murray-Bruce

  21. though you gone my broda my friend u will never be forgotten..if i was in Nigeria i definately would have been on the pitch that black sunday,and u would have been my teammate because i always make sure we play together...except on few occasions where u come late or the other team beat me to it..u took me as i am and we were always the last the leave the pitch,u played football with passion and drive,u come to the field with sparkling white jerseys and leave with "brown" colour and i always tease u and say no stain ma car oo lol,i miss the moments we shared together and it is so hard to come to terms that ma homie has passed away..i dont even know what to say,even my bro says he needs a psychologist cos he joked with u just few minutes b4 u passed away,the ref wish he had given u a red card to save ur life,everybody keeps wishing and hoping but we cannot turn back the hands of time..the little i can do to keep ur memory alive even though i am far away i will keep doing it for i owe u that much..RIP my broda my friend though once again i wish it was Happy birthday..tear drops and closed casked

  25. You pinged me that Sunday morning and asked me why I haven't played ball this year. I heeded to your call and rushed down to the pitch. You played like a lion and scored a fantastic goal. Moments later, you were no more. It's still like a movie...... RIP homee.

  26. Every time things like this happen, it makes me question my faith in God. I ask God, they are thieves out there, assasins out there, boko haram agents out there,all this terrible people, God why dont you kill them? Why rammy, my rammy. Its still a dream, i am almost lost now, i still dialled ur nos this morning, You are still the 1st person on my mind in the morning and the last on my mind at night. How? i always complained anytime you talk of pain after playing footy, i say 'rammy must you play football? choose another sport' and you won't answer cos i knew you loved it, then last week saturday, u still told me you friends are yabbing u that u dont play footy as u used to again cos u got tired easily and i was like, 'maybe you need rest', u didnt answer me and you went the next day and you came back so i wasnt worried anymore. I blame myself so much, cos i should have noticed something was wrong with the cough and all that, but you had this way of hiding ur pain and there is nothing i cld say that will ever stop u from playing footy. i still saw you friday nigth and you played a crazy prank on me, i still saw you saturday night and we fought, i was the one wrong but u still called me in d midnight and made me promise i would change, and i did promise. then on sunday , u died? how? *smh* You showed me your dream car, you told me ur plans, we talked about everything and the future seemed so bright, not knowing God had other plans and it wasnt for you to be on earth. i still dream of you. i miss you like crazy, everything reminds me of you, everything. Rest in peace my love, you were the best thing that ever happened to me. I ask for strenght everyday and the will to carry on. love u always.
